mark gorchy gorman is attending Bugs's event

Newton's Nation at Bathurst, Australia

November 26, 2010 to November 28, 2010

The Australian Skateboard Racing Association (ASRA) organized the best race of the 2009 season with top to bottom video coverage of every racing heat and live timing and scoring so the world could follow along. The Mount Panorama course is not the longest but what it lacks in length, it more than makes up for in intensity. Kevin Reimer conquered the mountain in an incredible 2009 World Championship Downhill Skateboarding finale. Bathurst is definitely going to be one of the “can’t miss” races…See More

Buttboards cant be more then 12" wide,but if you have a 1 1/2 concave the surface measurement would be aprox 13 1/4.But edge to edge with a ruler is still 12"Any thoughts before i start cuttingCheersMarkSee More
